Ward Connerly, a well-known critic of affirmative action, is urging the residents of five states—Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma—to pass ballot measures this November banning the use of racial, ethnic, and gender preferences by public colleges and other state and local agencies, Peter Schmidt writes on The Chronicle’s Web site.
Three states—California, Michigan, and Washington—have already outlawed affirmative-action preferences, he writes. If the five states Connerly is focusing on pass the measures, the share of the U.S. population residing in states with such bans will jump from about 17.7 percent to just over 25 percent—or to more than 31 percent, if you count Florida, where the former Republican governor, Jeb Bush, abolished “affirmative-action preferences in state government through a 1999 executive order and subsequently persuaded the governing board of the state’s universities to follow suit,” Schmidt notes.

An emerging pattern is that some universities affiliate with “international”entities that are not typical institutions of higher learning, i.e., Harlaxton or Semester at Sea. What message is being conveyed by associating with these entities? Universities must be intentional in their approach to international relationships. They must decide if they simply want to increase their study abroad numbers or offer their students truly international opportunities where they can engage with students from around the world, debate with international faculty, conduct research, etc.

As a student at an online university, the goal of attaining accrediation is at the forefront in order to capture international students. The value of global marketing must be a priority along with the hiring of internationally renowned Professors.

I agree that accrediation is essential in the process of attracting students. My institution is undergoing the reaccrediation process next year. It is an exhaustive process but will be useful in the recruitment of new students.
I am completing my graduate degree online. The reputation of school was a major consideration in my selection.
